Abstract
Case 3614 ABSTRACT
A driver bit attachment for a power tool for preventing over-torquing of the fastener. A driver bit is received in a first bore and a second larger bore of a cylindrical attach-ment body. A projection permits attachment to a drill or screw gun. The projection has a tapped recess extending axially therein which receives a set screw. The end of the set screw engages the trailing end of the driver bit to position it within the two bores and, thereby, determine the point at which the fastener will disengage itself from drive by pulling itself out of contact with the driver bit.

Description
Case 3614 SUM MARY OF THE INVENTION
1 Various attempts have been made atpro~ding a drive meanswhich willdrive butnotovertorquethreadedfasteners. Such meansinclude s1ip c1utches, disengaging head gripping de~ces andthelike. The presentinven~on pro~desa simple adapter ~atcan be chuckedinto a standard drillorinto a ~crew gunto permitfastenersto be rota~vely driven butnotoYerdriven.
In one bro~d asrect, the invention comprehends an attachment for a power tool to permit driving of threaded fasteners. The attachment comprises a general~l.y cylindrical bodyr with projection means extending from one end of the body, the projection means being adapted for connection to the power tool to receive rotational tor~ue therefrom. A first longitudinal bore extends axially within the body, with a driver bit having a portion which is received within the first bore. Securing means within the first bore retain the driver bit -there-in. The invention also includes a second bore whi.ch ha~ a larger mean diameter than the irst bore, the second bore extending frorn the first bore to the end opposite ~ 20 the end having the projection. The second bore has an ;~ axial length approximately e~ual to the height of the fa~qtener head with which the adapter is to be used and a mean diameter larger than the maximum width dimension of the fastener head. A portion of the driver bit is received therein, and a set screw threadingly engages ; in a tapped hole in the projecting means and extends into the first bore from the projection means end to position - the driver bit within the first and second bores, so that the point of disengagement of the driver bit from the fastener head may be varied in order to prevent over ~a3~S~
torquing of the fastener.
The present invention comprises an attachment which has a cylindrical body wi.th a projection at one end.
The projection can take the form of a hex which can ~e received in a screwgun adaptor or in the chuck of an ordinary drill. The c~lindrical body has first and second coaxial bores through which a clriver bit extends. The bit is retained in the first (or the smaller) of the two bores by a set screw or the like. A second set screw is thread:ingly engaged ln a threaded bore in the projection and engages the trailing end of the driver bit. By looc;e-ning the securing set screw first, the position of the driver bit within the first and second bores can be adjusted using the second screw. This permits the point at which ~5 the driver disengages the fastener head to be changed for various head styles, types of receiving material, style of driver bit, e4tc.
Further features, advantages and objects o~ the present invention will be better understood by reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the attachment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the attachment of Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of an alternate configuration of the attachment of the present invention.

DE TA ILED DES CRIP TION
The driver 6it attachment of the present invention is shown generally at 10. Attachment 10 has a generally cylindrical body portion 12 with projection 14 extending from one end. The cylind-rical body 12 has a first bore 16 and a second bore 18 with a larger average or mean diameter than said first bore, the two bores extending coaxially therein. Bore 16 preferably has a polygonal (specifically, hexagonal, as shown) configuration for better driving engagement with a smilarly shaped polygonal portion 22 on driver bit 20. Set screw 24 is threadingly engaged in tapped hole 26 and frictionally engages one OI the planar sides of the polygonal portion 22 to retain the bit in the cylindrical body 12.
The second bore 18 has a generally cylindrical configuration with a mean diameter which is larger than the largest width dimen!:ion of a fastener head 25 with which the attachment is to be used. The depth of bore lB is, sim;larly approximately equal to the height of the largest fastener head with which the attachment will be used.
This dimensioning of the recess permits the fastener to drive itself ; ~ ~ out of engagement with driver bit 20 and prevent over torquing which could damage the surface of the parent material or breakoff the head, depending on whether the material in question is drywall or concrete.
In this respect, the attachement is similar in function to the nose-piece disclosed and claimed in applicant's prior U.S. patent 3, 965, 510.
Unlike the standard hex-head fasteners with which the tool Case 3~1~
~:~3~
of the above noted patent is intended for use, internal drive recessed heads take may forms including pan head, flat head and bugle head, for example. Each of these head styles will need to be driven to a different depth in order to be considered fully seated. For this reason, the attachment 10 is provided with a depth of drive adjustment. This adjustment takes the form of a second set screw 28 threadingly engaged in tapped hole 30. As is conventional, the set screw has a hex recess 32 which permits adJustment from outside the attachment body by use of an allen wrench or the like. Adjustment can also be made for type of material (wallboard or paneling) being fastened or fastened to.
The embodiment shown in Fig. 3 includes a slip collar 34.
This outer sleeve or collar 34 is generally a plastic ~ra terial which will slide relative to the body 12 and which is non-fixedly coupled thereto. This collar is particularly useful in drywall applications, or the like, in preventing the tip of the attachment, which can be turning at a high rate of speed, from contacting and marring the surface of the material. This slip collar 34 also permits the workman to grasp and guide the tool in the same manner as is permitted by the mandrel disclosed in U. S.
patent 4, 107, 800 .
A very simple, economical attachment has been disclosed which can be inserted in a drill or screw gun for safely driving fasteners. It is, of course, understood that the driver bit can be an internal as well as external type drive member. Further, the bit 20 could be removed and the attachment used to support Gase 3614 ~3~
and drive a drill bit inserteA therein and held by set screw 24 or the polygonal bore 16 could directly be used to drive hex headed screws as in the aforenoted patent 3, 965, 510. Also, it will be appreciated that the driver bit can be adjusted more forwardly to permit removal of the fasteners. Various changes, modifications, or alternatives will become obvious to the person of ordinary skill in the art in view of the foreg,oing specification.
Accordingly, it is intended that all such changes, modifications and alternatives as come within the scope of the appended claims be considered as part of the present invention.
